The Best Jazz on Bandcamp: January 2018

It’s a new year of new music. This month’s column has “January” in its title, but we scooped up some extra stuff from December, since last month’s column was dedicated to the Best Jazz Releases of 2017. Last year may have been a dumpster fire but, in terms of music, the album’s in this month’s roundup offer compelling reasons to open your heart to hope.
